Those elves don't look very old, at least... if judged by human aesthetics.

The largest one looks like a human being of twelve or thirteen years old, while the smallest one looks like a child of five or six years old.

Of course, with Al Moonlight as a warning, Benfen knew that even the smallest elf would probably be old enough to be his big brother.

However, he noticed that the hair and eye colors of these elves were different from those of the elf girls.

There were blond ones, red-haired ones, brown-haired ones and green-haired ones, but there was no gray-black hair like him and the girl.

According to players' understanding, the elves in "Elf Kingdom" are also divided into many tribes, and the best way to distinguish the tribes is to look at their hair color and eye color.

The different hair colors indicate that these young elves and girls are not from the same tribe.

These elves huddled in the corner, and some of the younger ones had fallen asleep in the arms of their companions, but there were faint traces of unwiped tears on their faces.

The older elves who were awake were staring warily at the outside of the cell. Their faces were pale, and even if they tried to be calm, they could not hide the fear and confusion about the future in their eyes.

When Ben Lunch and the others were escorted in, they instantly attracted the attention of the elves.

After seeing the **** elf girl, an older male elf’s eyes widened instantly. He rushed to the cell door, grabbed the railing and shouted:

"Ye...Sister Nightingale! You...why were you arrested too?!"

His voice was clear and childish, filled with surprise and worry.

"Sister? Has sister been arrested too?"

His voice caught the attention of the other young elves.

Soon, everyone rushed to the door, looking at the girl with either attachment, worry, or sadness:

"Sister Nightingale! It's really Sister Nightingale!"

"Sister, did they do anything to you?"

"Sister, are you injured?"

"Sister Nightingale...you...how could you..."

Looking at those young faces, the elf girl known as Nightingale breathed a sigh of relief, and a touch of tenderness appeared on her expression.

She nodded to the elves and gave them a don't-worry look to reassure them.

"Get in! Stop yelling!"

Seeing the elves swarming in front of the cell door, the two humans swore and whipped against the railing of the cell door, causing a scream.

It wasn't until the elves retreated timidly to the deepest part of the cell that they stopped with satisfaction.

"Uh...!"

Seeing the rude actions of humans, Nightingale's eyes widened,

She glared at the whip-wielding human and subconsciously tried to break away from the rope, but was soon kicked by Ben Leng.

The girl turned back angrily, but after seeing the calm eyes of Ben Lunch, the anger in her heart gradually calmed down.

She understood the meaning of Ben Lunch’s eyes——

Calm down.

Human beings did not put Benten and Nightingale into the cells of young elves, but took them deeper to another cell specifically for professionals and locked them up.

This cell seems to be stronger and deeper.

After throwing the two people into the cell, they left.

After confirming that the humans were gone, the elf girl known as Nightingale stood up.

She broke free from the rope in an instant, pulled off the cloth on her mouth, and then immediately approached the cell door and started to pick the lock.

I saw that the girl was very skillful. In less than a minute, she opened the heavy lock easily.

Just when Nightingale was refreshed and ready to rush out of the cell, she heard the sound of lunch boxes behind her:

"Send yourself to death?"

As if cold water had been poured from head to toe, Nightingale immediately calmed down.

Her movements were slightly stagnant, and her clear voice was trembling:

"They...are my brothers and sisters, I want to save them!"

Ben Lian was silent for a moment and said:

"Waiting for reinforcements."

After speaking, he pointed at the top, stretched out two more fingers, and shook his head:

【Send Red Envelope】Reading benefits are here! You have up to 888 cash red envelopes to be drawn! Follow the weixin public account [Book Friends Base Camp] to draw red envelopes!

"Two pieces of silver."

After listening to his words, Nightingale came back and grabbed Ben Lian’s shoulders, her voice trembling:

"I know there are two silver-strength humans up there, and one of them is a mage! But...but..."

Her voice had a hint of crying.

"Trust me."

Ben Lunch’s voice was deep and powerful.

After listening to Ben Lian’s words, Nightingale gradually loosened his grip on his hands and knelt down on the ground:

"I...can I really believe you? Seeing how scared they are, I'm really...I'm really worried...They are all still children, all still children!"

As he spoke, Nightingale began to sob softly...

Ben Lian said nothing.

He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and put it on the girl's shoulder to express comfort.

The nightingale sobbed for a while and then gradually stopped.

She wiped her red eyes and began to tell her story...

"I hate humans...they destroyed my home."

"After the divine war a thousand years ago, the Shadow Tribe was divided into several branches, and our branch chose to sneak into human society and live in seclusion about a hundred years ago..."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"In fact, our tribe is good at hiding. While hiding our identity, we change places to live every once in a while. Although we are wandering, we still survive..."

"The name Nightingale was given by my mother. In the Elvish language, Nightingale symbolizes beauty and freedom. She hoped that I could live freely..."

"Nightingale·Shadow...the meaning is very good, but...how is it possible?"

"A wandering life is inherently full of risks."

"Later, out of sympathy and kindness, the elders of the family rescued an injured human knight, but accidentally let the other party discover our identity..."

"The knight swore that he was grateful for our rescue and would not tell our secrets..."

"He did behave very well and his words were sincere. Hard-working, humble, kind, and loyal... He almost meets all our elves' perceptions of knights..."

"So...the elders believe him."

"But...I am very opposed to it. I don't trust humans. I think anyone who discovers our secrets should be silenced, no matter who they are..."

"However, I was reprimanded by the elders. They firmly and naively believed that knights would abide by the knight's code and would not expose the secrets of their benefactors..."

Speaking of this, Nightingale smiled mockingly:

"How is that possible? That's a human being!"

"After the human left, he quickly returned with a group of mercenaries..."

"What loyalty? What kindness? In the face of interests... everything is fake!"

"The price of a young female elf is enough to turn an ordinary person into a rich man. How could greedy humans not be tempted..."

"Our branch of the tribe perished because of this."

"I witnessed my father being killed by humans when he resisted, and my mother... my mother was defiled by them... In the end, even I was captured by slave traders."

"At that time, I was already in despair. It was another senior who lived in seclusion in human society who saved me..."

"She is not an elf, but she is very sympathetic to the elves. She opened an orphanage, but in fact the elves she rescued from humans were taken in..."

"Including me...and my younger brothers and sisters."

"My younger brothers and sisters are not from the Shadow Tribe, but they are all poor children who were persecuted by humans..."

"We hide our identities and hide in the orphanage. It is the protection of our seniors who gave us a second home..."

"Although we need to hide and hide our identities, at least... we survived again."

"I am the eldest, and my seniors have taught me a lot. I once followed my seniors into a human caravan and saved many of my companions. My younger brothers and sisters all call me sister. They are very close to me, and I also Love them very much..."

"Later... the senior passed away in an accident."

"As the eldest sister, I originally wanted to take over the legacy of my senior, continue to maintain the entire orphanage, and save the elves from humans, but I didn't want my senior's death to arouse human suspicion. They discovered Our secret..."

"While I was out, my younger brothers and sisters were arrested."

"I chased all the way here, hoping to rescue my brothers and sisters... but I didn't expect that I was so powerless..."

"I...what a failure sister..."

"Na..."

The nightingale shed tears and looked at the lunch box sadly:

"Could it be...that there really is no refuge for us elves in this world?"

"Could it be that... we can only become goods?"

"Why! Why on earth is this! What did we do wrong?"

"Is kindness... really a sin? Does kindness... really just bring misfortune?"

"If this is really the case, I would rather fall into the darkness!"

"But...where is our future..."

After hearing Nightingale's words, Ben Lian fell into silence.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said:

"Yes."

"Is there any?"

The nightingale’s eyes were filled with tears:

"Even if we are really saved this time, it will be just another cycle of hiding and hunting..."

"We have lost our great power, and only this **** good-looking appearance, attractive life span and special physique are left..."

"Do we really have a future like this?"

Nightingale grabbed the lapel of the lunch box and asked with a sad smile.

Ben Leng looked down at her.

His expression was still calm, but his eyes were much softer.

"Yes."

This time, his voice was much gentler:

"Shelter and a future are both there."

After he finished speaking, the whole cell suddenly shook slightly and a cloud of dust stirred up.

Faintly, there seemed to be a high-pitched dragon roar coming from above.

Ben Lian took a deep breath and helped the astonished Nightingale up:

"That's it."

The aura on his body continued to rise, and his eyes gradually became sharp:

"Reinforcements have arrived."

He pulled out a dagger that had been hidden by him from the sole of his shoe!
